P162: Emerging Perspectives on Mtor-Associated Inflammation in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Inflammatory processes have been shown to be involved in development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) involves in various cellular processes including autophagy, apoptosis and energy metabolism. Recently, studies have been shown an association between mTOR pathway and inflammation, supporting the role of the pathway in the pathogenesis of infla...
متن کاملModulating the intestinal immune system: the role of lymphotoxin and GALT organs.
The gut associated immune system fences off potentially harmful intestinal antigens from the systemic circulation and induces systemic tolerance against luminal antigens. Intestinal immune responses against luminal antigens include IgA secretion and induction of regulatory cells. Unlike few other cytokines, lymphotoxin alpha/beta regulates the development of intestinal lymphoid organs. The embr...
متن کاملLymphotoxin beta receptor-dependent control of lipid homeostasis.
Hyperlipidemia, one of the most important risk factors for coronary heart disease, is often associated with inflammation. We identified lymphotoxin (LT) and LIGHT, tumor necrosis factor cytokine family members that are primarily expressed on lymphocytes, as critical regulators of key enzymes that control lipid metabolism. Dysregulation of LIGHT expression on T cells resulted in hypertriglycerid...
متن کاملHematopoietic LTβR deficiency results in skewed T cell cytokine profiles during a mucosal viral infection.
The lymphotoxin signaling pathway plays an important role in the homeostasis and function of peripheral and mucosal dendritic cells, and dendritic cell-intrinsic lymphotoxin β receptor expression is required for optimal responses to opportunistic intestinal bacteria. However, it is unknown whether dendritic cell-intrinsic lymphotoxin β receptor signaling is required for responses to intestinal ...
متن کاملTherapeutic Direction and Issues Regarding HBV Infection
With up to 400 million affected people worldwide, chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is still a major health care problem. During the last decade, several novel therapeutic approaches have been developed and evaluated. In most regions of the world, interferon-α (IFN-α), and nucleos(t)ide analogues are currently approved. Despite major improvements, none of the existing therapies is optim...
